There has been a British Five Pound coin on and off since 1817. The British decimal Five Pound gold bullion coin was first issued in 1980 and the Five Pound "Crown" coin was first issued in 1990. The current British Five Pound "Crown" coin is intended to be a non-circulating legal tender commemorative coin. The Royal Mint has no current plans to produce a general circulation Five Pound coin in the foreseeable future.
You need to provide the year. Without knowing the year it is impossible to value your coin. Crowns (5 shilling) pieces were minted in several different years and have vastly different values depending on what year they were minted in.
There were never any British Two and a Half-Sovereign coins minted.
The first British Two Pound coins were issued in 1823 and were made from 22 carat gold and are currently valued at hundreds or thousands of pounds as collectible coins. All decimal Two Pound coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth Two Pounds.
